Subversive Femme Pattern 1025 – the classic hawaiian hostess lounge set from Butterick 9605.

Professionally graded and reproduced in seven sizes, the hawaiian lounge set was popularised by the designer Alfred Shaheen, a mix of eastern, western and pacific fashion. The sets were commonly worn on honeymoons to tropical destinations, or on vacation.

This is a digitally reproduced vintage pattern circa 1950-1960, copyright Subversive Femme. Seam allowance of 5/8″ and 1.5cm provided.

Sizes

32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, and 44 inch busts (see photos for complete size charts and finished measurements).

The Waikiki Lounge Set has been professionally graded from a vintage pattern, so I’d recommend making a test version in cheaper fabric first to check fit ❤️

More information about this pattern

My patterns are digital reproductions of original patterns, normally only in one size. The original instructions were not very comprehensive, but I have provided clarity where I can. Because of this I would not recommend these patterns for brand new sewers, but I am more than willing to provide tech assistance if you need it.

You are very welcome to make items from my patterns to sell, however you may not re-sell or copy my pattern itself.
